Spirit Goaltender Jake Paterson to Attend Elite Goaltending Camp

Saginaw Spirit goaltender Jake Paterson will continue his busy schedule leading up to the NHL Draft next month in Pittsburgh. Following his participation in this week’s NHL Combine in Toronto, Paterson will join four other OHL goaltenders in Calgary, Alberta early next month for the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence Goaltending Camp. The camp will go from June 7th until the 10th, and will feature 15 goaltenders who are currently playing in the Canadian Hockey League.

Sixteen goaltenders – 11 in the under-20 age category (candidates for Canada’s National Junior Team) and five in the under-18 category (candidates for Canada’s National Men’s Under-18 Team) – will get the opportunity to work with a number of instructors during the four-day camp.

All 16 goaltenders were selected by Hockey Canada based on evaluations done by head scout Kevin Prendergast and goaltending consultant Ron Tugnutt during the 2011-12 season and in consultation with coaches, general managers and team officials throughout the CHL.
